Kay Burley’s Fantasy, Drunken, Nymphomaniac Characters

Kay Burley’s new book First Ladies, could be problematic. Burley is quoted in the Telegraph as saying “readers will certainly recognise the three women in my novel”, it tells the somewhat more racy than Mills & Boon tale of “three formidable women, united in their love of one man (who just happens to be the prime minister), but soon set on a path of revenge”.

The fictional women are; the “titian-haired” Sally Simpson, “a powerful magazine editor … in skin-tight Prada and killer heels, she is every man’s fantasy”; Valerie Jenson, a “deeply unhappy” and “weary first lady” who “spends her time drinking”; “sexy TV reporter Isla McGovern, who has caught Julian’s eye and will do anything (or anyone) to get to the top”.

Wonder who she based the characters on?

      Imelda’s out, obviously – unless you’ve got a nasty case of elephantitis of the family jewels but the other two? Hmm..meh, couple of beers and with the agreement that they shut the fuck up and, well, be rude not to, frankly.

      Who could Del Piero (wasn’t he an Inter Milan footie player) shag to get to the top? Aren’t they all gayers? (Although there is a blokey demenour to the err..lass!)

    Dunno, but I don’t recognise any of those women. Perhaps I should keep the lights on.

      Who the hell did del Piero (wasn’t he an Inter Milan footie player?) clamber on to get to the top? Aren’t they all gayers? I guess she does look like a bloke, though. Never trust a woman with a deeper voice than your own, Glasshopper.

    Erm, no. I don’t recognise any of them, but then I’m not exactly the target audience for this sort of pap.

      Fiat justitia, ruat caelum says:

      Apparently in the forthcoming BBC Drama “Special Relationship” about Blair and Clinton it’s reported that there is a line in it said by Clinton when meeting Blair and Cherie for first time…! I always worry when the husband is the attractive one in a relationship!” The writers alledgedly backed away from more “catty dialogue” about the “First Lady” for fear of possible litigation so I hope Kay has not made the characters too recognisable or written anything scurrilous

      Of course after gordon came into no 10, it became, according to one of his senior ministers, a ‘homoerotic zone’ so things like that didn’t happen anymore!

          He only has a 103 majority in his constituency. I hope te slimy creep loses this case and there has to be a re-run. I bet Joanna Lumley is hoping it too!

          • Dick the Prick says:

            It’s for the Lib guy to prove the allegations are false rather than Woolas to evidence their veracity. Election law, eh? Some might call it a fix!! I’m not an expert but i’d fall off my sofa if it’s upheld.

        The beeb really should offer bobcrow a contract as a comedian he’s been very entertaining to watch today. He’s either offering to dress up in a loin cloth and sit down in the middle of the A14 or planning to dress up as superman and scale the heights of no.10.

        No doubt he’s paid that £133k pa from his members subs especially to come up with these very novel solutions to his union’s problems.

          Hey they can afford it – with the taxpayer paying some obscene ammounts of money in union ‘salaries’ and ‘modernisation grants’, all the subs go straight into the strike kitty. Another fact NOT rvealed by those fearless journalists & NUJ members at the bbc.

    Lord Fondlebum of Boy says:

    “in skin-tight Prada and killer heels, she is every man’s fantasy”

    It cracks me up the way women write.

    As if men give a shit what women wear. Unless they’re wearing nothing, we don’t actually notice what they wear. A shallow woman vacuously obsessed with labels is not “every man’s fantasy” at all. She’s simply a boring and empty-headed financial liability.

    I’m baffled at the oft-made claims for women’s supposed emotional intelligence and insight, as well. Despite their acute sensitivity and intuition, they mostly can’t figure out what’s happening in their relationships under their noses unless it’s spelt out to them every day, by a man, in words of one syllable.

    If they don’t get their way they stamp their little feet with rage and then comfort-eat till their faces burst. If you divorce them, they unhesitatingly use the children as a weapon. Screw the impact on the children, there’s always collateral damage in pursuit of a feud. Tough luck, kiddies.

    They never own anything either. Their cars are beaten-up old heaps of 15-year-old shit, they don’t own a decent stereo or TV, and if there’s a decent kitchen in their place, it was there when they moved in. What they do own is thousands of pairs of shoes. So when they get repossessed for not paying the mortgage, they may not have a roof over their head, but at least they’ll have shoes on their feet.

    They’re complete arseholes really, and I don’t like them at all. If they didn’t have minges and botties for us chaps to poke*, there’d be absolutely no point to them whatsoever.

    * and even this they’re crap at. Women are useless in the sack and the reality is that you have to do all the work and use them to get yourself off. IME.

Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
